To answer, allow the width of the frame to be represented by x. The dimensions of the frame should then be, 11+2x and 6+2x. Subtracting the area of the inside of the frame from the area of the outside should be able to give us 18 cm². The equation,
(11 + 2x)(6 + 2x) - (11)(6) = 18
The value of x from the equation is equal to 0.5. Thus, the width of the frame should be 0.5 cm.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
5(4 + 8) =
Distribute
5*4 + 5*8
20 + 40
60
(x-1)+x+(x+1)=915
3x=915
x=305
304, 305, 306
Ben's estimate gives 7 g of nickel; the actual amount is 8.03 g.
In 1 g of the substance, there is 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc; this gives
0.52+0.25 = 0.77 g of the substance.
The remaining part of the substance is nickel:
1-0.77 = 0.23 g of nickel.
Using Ben's estimate, 0.2 g of nickel per gram of substance, we have
0.2(35) = 7 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.
The actual amount is 0.23(35) = 8.03 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.
